MUKDKU IN SCRANTON.
Garret S. Berry the Victim Amos
Blakeslee the Jealous Murderer.
At 10:15 o'clock Tuesday night
last, Amos C. Blakeslee, who had
separated from his wife, burst
through a screen window of his
wife's home, at 720 Adams avenue,
and confronted her and Garret A.
Berry, general manager of Schrader
Bottling Works. After angry words
Blakeslee shot Berry in the right
temple which wound caused death a
short time afterward.
Blakeslee at once went to police
headquarters and gave himself up,
confessing the shooting.
Mrs. Blakeslee, whose supposed
relations with Berry, had aroused
her husband's suspicions, Is a wo
man of forty-eight years, and has
several grown-up children, the off
spring of a former marriage. Even
while her husband was living with
her, previous to April 3 last, she
rented out several of her rooms to
boarders, two of whom were In their
upstairs rooms when the shooting
occurred, although no one could be
found who had heard the shot
fired.
Mr. Berry is a man of forty-five
years and with his wife and two
children lived In the Scrader resi
dence, which is immediately next
door to that side of the double block
at 718 and 720 Adams avenue where
the Blakeslees live. Mrs. Berry and
the children are now spending a
summer visit at Seneca, N. Y.
Berry had worked for the bottler for
many years and had risen from a
common laborer to a position of
confidence and good pay. Physi
cally, he was a handsome man, with
over six feet of height and more than
two hundred pounds of weight. His
features are fresh and well formed
and he wore a becoming mustache,
brown in color. His reputation Is
of the best. At one time he boarded
with Mrs. Blakeslee and it was his
habit to step over every little while
to chat with the family.

niuek Hand Gang Finally Brtfccn Up.
With the arrest of Tony Tnro
grass In Passaic, N. J., and his im
prisonment in the Lackawanna coun
ty Jail, where his associate, Tony
George, has been for a number of
days, a step has been taken to break
up a Black Hand gang that county
Detective M. A. Rafter says has been
operating in Scranton for some time.
Tarograss disappeared from Scran
ton soon after George was arrested
on suspicion of trying to extort
money from Joseph Ragons, a Lin
den street merchant. Although
George refused to admit anything,
Tarograss made a complete confes
sion soon after his arrest.
Ragona received the first letter
from the gang a year ago. It threat
ened the death of the merchant and
his family unless ?500 was paid.
Instead of paying the money, Ra
gona turned the letter, together with
similar ones that followed, over to
Detective Rafter. The trail led to a
house in Raymond court, where sev
eral young Italians lived. When the
one member, George, was arrested,
the others fled.
May Interest You.
If you need and remember the
following, It will, perhaps be of
benefit you when you go to New
York, via the Erie:
When the train service of the
Hudson tunnels is extended to the
Erfe station at Jersey City on Aug.
2, the patrons of the Erie will find
the arrangements complete for the
use of Mr. McAdoo's trains.
The Erie has constructed a sub
way from the center of the train
shed to the Hudson tunnel station.
Passengers Inbound will find en
trances to ths subway at each plat
form, and will descend short flights
of steps to the subway proper,
which is very commodious in size.
Under cover nnd guided by elec
tric lights the passenger walks a
short distance to the tunnel station
and can either take a train to the
Church street terminal or uptown
to Twenty-third street.
The outbound passenger, emerging
from the train at the Erie station,
uses the same subway In the op
posite direction. At the entrance
to the stairways he will find train
indicators.
These devices are ingeniously ar
ranged so that every train and every
station may be shown by simply
turning a crank.
The divisions will be shown by
colored lights and signs; white for
the main line, blue for the Northern
Railroad of New Jersey, yellow for
the New Jersey and New York, pink
for the Greenwood Lake and Newark
branch, and green for the New
York, Susquehanna and Western
when ts trains use the Erie terminal.
1 A passenger for a main line sta
tion will see a white light on the top
j of the indicator, next the time of
I departure, then the indication as to
I whether express or local, and below
will be shown the names of each
station at which the trains will stop.
Bulletin boards will be convenient
ly placed, where special announce
ments may be made, following the
policy of the company in keeping
patrons informed as to track condi
tons, similar to the method now in
vogue, whereby if a division is
blocked by a wreck or other trouble,
the statement is placed on the bulle
tin board at the ferry slips.

grees F. This is known as blood heat

degrees, whether in the arctic or the
